What people are saying about Makawao

I was able to surprise the family with this excursion & they really enjoyed it. Shiloh did a great job as our guide & we have plans to get these delicious fresh pineapples shipped to us in L.A. periodically. Thanks to Maui Pineapple Tour for a fun, enjoyable time & we will be recommending to our family & friends to reserve this activity should they plan a visit to the island

It was a great experience beautiful scenery would like to have had more time to explore the area then to just pass up drop off watch the sunset come back down it would’ve been nice to go up there a little earlier less stops along the way in order to hike around some of the trails at the summit

We had a wonderful time. Cliff was a great tour guide. We will do this again the next time we come. Just only 90 minutes but really informative.

We learned so much about pineapples and how they are grown. Bonus was the tasting of the pineapple in the field.

Very informative. Learned everything there is to know about growing pineapples at Maui Gold
